If you have purchased water ingress insurance, you can file a claim. However, according to the policy terms, there is approximately a 20% deductible rate, meaning the vehicle owner will need to pay around 20% of the repair costs. To obtain 100% coverage, you will also need to purchase a no-deductible add-on for the water ingress insurance (which is a separate policy from the no-deductible add-on for vehicle damage insurance). Steps to take if your vehicle is submerged in water: 1. Report the Incident: As soon as your vehicle is submerged, immediately call the insurance company with which your vehicle is insured to report the incident. 2. Take Photos: If the insurance adjuster cannot arrive promptly, the vehicle owner should take photos of the scene and the vehicle's damage as soon as it is safe to do so, to facilitate damage assessment and claims processing. 3. Arrange for Rescue: You can contact your insurance company for rescue services or reach out to a professional rescue company for assistance.

Does a noisy outer CV joint always need replacement?

Outer CV joint noise always requires replacement. If a CV joint produces abnormal noises, it indicates the joint is already damaged and needs repair or replacement. In the early stages of outer CV joint damage, the noise typically occurs only during turns but not when driving straight. Initially, the damaged CV joint only produces noise without affecting driving performance. However, if not repaired or replaced promptly, the condition will progressively worsen until the CV joint fails completely, rendering the vehicle inoperable. Therefore, timely replacement is recommended. Relevant information about CV joints is as follows: 1. Introduction: CV joint generally refers to a constant-velocity joint. A constant-velocity joint connects two shafts that have an angle between them or changing relative positions, allowing them to transmit power at the same angular velocity. It overcomes the unequal velocity problem inherent in ordinary cross-type universal joints. 2. Classification: The most widely used constant-velocity joints currently are mainly the ball-and-trunnion type and the Rzeppa (ball-and-cage) type.

What are the reasons for the low beam not working in the Lavida?

Details of the reasons why the low beam of the Volkswagen Lavida does not work are as follows: Severely depleted battery: After the headlights are turned on, the battery needs to work in conjunction with the generator to supply power. Therefore, the brightness of the headlights is normal for about 2 hours after the car starts driving at night. After that, since the battery can no longer continue to supply power, the brightness of the headlights decreases and varies with the engine speed. Additionally, the engine cannot be started with the starter after the engine is turned off. Overheated wires: This leads to an increase in circuit resistance, resulting in a decrease in the luminous intensity of the headlights. In severe cases, the headlight circuit may short-circuit due to the melting of the wire insulation layer, and even cause the circuit to burn out or lead to a car fire accident.

How to Repair Vehicle Scratches?

It is necessary to judge based on the depth of the scratch. Below are the methods for dealing with scratched car paint: 1. Minor scratches. These scratches are usually caused by trees, flowers, and other plants. Wash the car thoroughly, apply coarse wax in a circular motion first, then apply fine wax, wiping in the same direction from the inside out. Leave it on for a longer time, then wipe off the wax with a clean cloth. 2. Deeper scratches that have not reached the primer. You can use a touch-up pen. First, wash and dry the car. Shake the touch-up pen before use to mix the paint inside evenly. To prevent the touch-up pen from applying paint to other parts of the car body, it is best to use adhesive tape to cover the sides of the scratch before applying the paint. 3. Scratches that expose the primer. It is recommended to have these handled at a repair shop. Scratches that expose the primer can easily cause the metal body to rust, so rust removal and prevention work must be done first. After washing and drying the car, apply rust remover to the scratched area.

Where is the Baojun Airbag Computer Located?

Baojun airbag computer boards are generally located in front of or beneath the gear shift lever. Function of the airbag computer: Its role is to receive signals from collision sensors and other sensors, determine whether to ignite and inflate the airbag, and perform self-diagnosis of system faults. The airbag computer also continuously tests circuits of key components in the control module, such as sensor circuits, ignition circuits, backup power circuits, SRS indicator circuits, and drive circuits. The test results are displayed through the SRS indicator and fault codes stored in the memory, meaning the SRS indicator on the dashboard directly provides the driver with status information about the airbag system. Components of the airbag computer: The main components of the airbag computer include collision sensors, EEPROM memory chips, squib drive integrated circuits, and a microprocessor. Additionally, when the car's airbag computer malfunctions, the status information and fault codes stored in its memory can be retrieved using specialized equipment or through specific methods from the serial communication interface for testing and inspection.
